Have an unsolicited feature request? This is the place! Also perhaps a good place to discuss how changes should be implemented and whether they are a good idea.
==Additions==
# Google-esque theme changes on holidays?
# WSO Hot Or Not?
#*Unlikely that we would be allowed to run an objectifying site feature.
# Add a Daily Advisor feed.
#*RSS DA/DM?
# Create a public archive of all WSO all campus e-mails and all campus-wide e-mails sent by the administration. Future historians will praise you!
# Make the blogs automatically link keywords to wiki entries like some online references.
# Add code to the Announcements section that sends an electric shock through the keyboard if a person tries to post an announcement in all caps.
# Google Maps/Photoshare mashup a la [http://gallery.menalto.com/node/32642 Gallery], [http://maps.pixagogo.com/maps/start.aspx pixagogo], [http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2005/07/how_to_gps_tag.html etc.].
# Create a personalized page function like Google News - alumni might want Willipedia on top, students might want announcements.
# Announcements/RideFinder mashup? If you're going to Stop & Shop within a few hours and have room in your car (and are feeling charitable), you can make a posting which will disappear when you leave.
# Change the page title back to being a random combination of words involving WSO, instead of just saying "Williams Students Online" every time.
#Create categories within the Exchange section, like furniture, clothing, rooms, etc.
==Fixes==# Enable comments Add the ability to search by male/female to the facebook# Fix the Daily Messages feed.# In the wiki login, put the "Log In" button on photosthe same line as the dropdown menu, so that when you tab from one to the next you get to select WSO or Unix before you press the Login button, thereby not getting an error message.#Work with alacrity at providing shell accounts for the use of maintaining a student organization's webpage. ==Accomplishments== # Fix College CouncilIn Photoshare, when you're looking at a specific picture, there's no "Next" button. So you have to go back to the thumbnails, just to get to the next photo! That seems silly.#* Good point. There's web sitea "Next" button now.# Restrict RideBoard to one- or two-day listings so semester-long 'offers' don't clog the home page feed.#* Now it just shows the most recent posts. # Added new 2005-The College Council Website was neither created by WSO nor did they agree 06 profs to Factrak.#*Also, if you want to help maintain the factrak databases, (it's really easy I promise, there's a really sweet admin interface) e-mail me at 06cks. And thus it is not E-mail me even if you aren't in WSO, and especially if you are an underclassman, someone has got to look after this once I'm gone. # Create or [http://obiblio.sourceforge.net install] a catalog system for books & DVD's that students have (usually lying around in their responsibilitycommon rooms) that libraries don't (comic books, course books, etc.) that other people could borrow. Students could lend to each other and track who has what.#* Done! See [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/Books_You%27re_Welcome_to_Borrow books] and [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/DVDs_You%27re_Welcome_to_Borrow DVDs] you're welcome to borrow. # Require log-ins to use the wiki(to reduce wiki abuse). -Possibly# Make a preview feature on comment/blog/forum postings, although free access is half to avoid the point of weird characters people get for cutting and pasting from Word.#* Done for most everything.# Add a Wiki, and there hasn"most recently added comments" function to Factrak. It is impossible to figure out whether Factrak't s even been much abuse of it so farupdated at all this semester since you have to manually search by prof.#* Done! Check out http://wso.williams.edu/Factrak/home#Add a link to Peoplesoft on the WSO homepage (should be easy enough, yes?)#* Been around all along. Check under "williams.edu" on the left.
# Get the menu and weather scripts working again.
